The Executive Chairman of Somolu Local Government Hon. Lateef Ashimi has appealed to residents never to turn Somolu roads to Party grounds.
He made this call during the 4th edition of the Renewed Hope Food Palliatives for the aged,the widows and the Vulnerables.
This edition is specifically to identify with the season and give smiles to the faces of our people.
He said,” It is worrisome that residents have suddenly cultivated the Idea of organizing parties on the majority roads instead of event centres, the laws of Lagos State forbids blocking the roads for any social activities, such as carnivals, birthdays, burial programs or anything for that matter,we are equally not allowed to use school compound for Socials,the law is not a respecter of anybody,hire an event centre for your socials he advised”.
Moreso, the Executive Chairman said, Wastes Generated during the Yuletide periods should be carefully bagged to make it easy for PSP Operators to cart away.
It is unethical not to bag refuse or to patronise Cartpushers.” You make the jobs of the Refuse Collectors very easy when the Wastes are bagged.Scavengers cannot easily access the Refuse that are bagged.On no account should anybody drop refuse at any junction or inside the Drainage channels.
Ashimi went further to charged the Community development associations to monitor youths that are engaging in using fireworks,banger or any dangerous items that can cause panic,harm or encourage insecurity in our neighbourhood.
According to him,the law prohibiting the use of Fireworks should be strictly enforced and culprits arrested by law enforcement agencies.
Investigator news reports that the chairman used the occasion to call for religious tolerance and peaceful co- existence amongst the three major religious groups, the christians,muslims and the traditionalists.
The program was witnessed by the Vice Chairman Hon.Taiwo Ojomu,Leader of the House Hon.James Oyeyiola ,other councillors ,APC chieftains market leaders ,community leaders,traditional leaders among others
